| Material | Titanium carbide |

Like all the other carbide ceramics, titanium carbide (TiC) has a very high melting-point (3100 C), is extremely hard and strong, and electrical conductive. Exposure to an oxidising atmosphere causes oxidation into CO2 and a metal oxide.
Because of its hardness and wear resistance it is mainly used for cutting tool tips, dies, and wear resistant coatings. |
